I don't know anything about the variables or data you have included, but
from what you say this seems reasonable. Your analysis will be quite
robust to the imputation model given the small number of missing values
too.
Best of luck with your research,

I imputed six missing values (out of 672) with Amelia.
There were five
complete columns used to form the imputation model (the IVs), and there
were eight DV columns, each with six missing values (an attempt with more
DVs failed). I used all default program settings to produce five
imputation sets (6 missing data points x 8 variables x 5 sets), which were
averaged to get one set of 6x8 imputed values.
Is it appropriate to operate on eight variables at once?
Are the default program settings appropriate for this example?
Thank you.
